Subject[PATCH] [RFC] tcp: add ability to set a timestamp offset (v2)
Date
If a TCP socket will get live-migrated from one box to another the
timestamps (which are typically ON) will get screwed up -- the new
kernel will generate TS values that has nothing to do with what they
were on dump. The solution is to yet again fix the kernel and put a
"timestamp offset" on a socket.

v2: We can't adjust tcp_time_stamp only for output packets, because
echoed timestamp values will also no longer have a meaningful
relationship to tcp_time_stamp. That violates assumptions made in
several places in the code, which assumes that we can compare echoed
timestamp values to tcp_time_stamp; //Neal Cardwell

This version is a "bit more" radical. It makes tcp_time_stamp dependent
on tcp_sock. The idea of this patch is in the next two lines:

-#define tcp_time_stamp ((__u32)(jiffies))
+#define tcp_time_stamp(tp) ((__u32)(jiffies) + tp->tsoffset)
